Patching swine.

We presume that every wide-awake
farmer has been pushing his swine for
fattcning TO the utmost during the
warm weather, as the cold weather vii
make them shrink unless you have the
best of proper shelter prepared where
they can not SILVER in the snow or
wind. See that your shelter is divided
into apartments where only SIN or eight
hogs can pile together, Is by this
means they kill each other and come
ont steam nc hot to catch hold and lay
the foundation for disease. This is one
great cause of want of thrift. So divide
your feed that they al, may get their
proper share. Never throw corn down
in pile for hogs to eat or allow it to
be done. If cold and windy. select Il
sheltered spot in which to feed at that
particular time, and at warm hour of
the day feed slop or water and see that
all get their share. Give your hogs
fresh beds at least once a week; an oc-
casonal feed of bright hay or sorghum.
and keep before them accessible at all
times the following mixture Salt,
wood ashes charcoal, sulphur, saltpe-
ter and copperas.
One peck of ashes TO pint of salt,
two pounds of copperas to two ounces
of salt-petrc, one pound of sulphur to
a peck of charcoal. mixed thoroughly.
and eighty hungry hogs Will not leave
a morsel in twenty-four hours. so salts
factory is it TO them and such is their
want and need of it. If they cough,
feed ten drops of carbolic acid in pint
of sweet milk to a 200 pound hog in the
morning. and one teaspoonful of sui
phurous acid ut night, and you can stop
all sneezing and coughing. and you
can thus put your hogs in good health.
Borrow money. hold your hogs until
after taxes are paid, and the first time
they come up sell and pay your debts,
and we believe you will run no risk
from cholera and make money. The
great secret of success is. feed and
water regularly in amount and man
ner, and keep your hogs healthy. -

Young Mans Honesty.

IN" of the guests at Poland Springs,
Me-. was a young country lawyer with
small practice A rich old fellow
from Philadelphia made his acquaint-
ance at the springside, and was pleased
with him. Now, this rich old man
wanted an honest man to send to
Europe on an important business
mission. He thought TINS young
lawyer would fill the bill. but proceed
ed to test him FIRST. After gaining his
confidence he told him of a plan he had
of making money, by short. but very
dishonest method. The young man
listened attentively and then firmly de-
clined to be a party to any such ar
rangement. In vain the old man plead
ed that scores of men occupying high po-
stions to-day had made their start pre-
cisely in such way. The young man
was firm as n rock. The result was
that the Philadelphia, being convinced
of the young mans integrity. engaged
his services. and he is now on his way
to Europe. - Youths COMPANION.

A Cunning Australian Snake.

A snake story comes to me from
place not hundred miles out of Par
ramatto. A gentleman was walking
about his grounds one day. when he
saw snake. which at once made for
its hole. 1t had nearly disappeared.
when the gentleman caught it by the
tip of the tail, and. drawing it out with
a jerk, threw it TO a distance. The
snake gathered itself together. and
while its enemy was looking for a
weapon with which to kill it. got into
the hole again. Once more it was pull
ed out and once more it returned to
earth. while vain search was being
made for stick. 1t was wrenched
from its home a third time, and again
the return journey was made. But on
this occasion the snake. when it got to
the hole. turned round and went in tail
first, triumphantly swapping its fangs
as it retreatcd into the earth. II there
is a snake story to beat this l should
like to hear it-SidHcy Mai.

CannAd Scum.

There are only two or three houses
in the country that make a speciality of
canned soups" said a manufacturer of
the article to representative of The
Net0 York Commercial. These soups
are known all over the world. They
are prepared in the most careful man
ner. The cans are Theoretically sealed.
and the soups are warranted not TO
spoil in the torrid zone or the Attic
circle. All that is necessary is to open
the can and place the soup on the fire.
1t does not need to be cooked, merely
heated through. 1t needs no season
ing. The required condiments are put
in when the soup is made in the great
caldrons of the manufact DRY. Your
soup sufficiently heated. is removed
from the fire, placed in the turecn-
and there you are!'
"What quantity Of these soups is
sold annually?' asked the reporter
What quantity? II S almost be-
yond computation. Enough to float
the Great Eastern; to fill the Erie canal;
to float half dozen small cities. Last
year this house alone made more than
100 900 gallons of it. The total soup
production of the country mean can
ned soups. of course, runs up into the
tens of millions. What kinds of soups
are made in this form?" he continued,
repeating another question by the re-
porter. Every soup known to modern
or ancient culinary art"
Then the manufacturer ratified off n
long list Of soups SO rapidly. and con-
tanning so many names pronounceable
only by canned goods factory managers
the more familiar of them could be re-
membered. These included tomato,
mock turtle, ox-tail julienne. pea, beef,
chicken, macaroni, vermicelli, consom-
me, okra or gumbo, mullIg atawhey,
green turtle. and terrapin.
The soups are put up in quart cans.
They cost the consumer about 80 cents
a quart for the ordinary soups. or -. 80
a dozen cans, and from that to 20 cents
a quart. or IS dozen. for the more
delicate, such as terrapin. for instance.
Are these soups made of the best
materials? Indeed they are. All the
canned soups are made from exactly
what their names imply. Soup label
ed tomato is made from tomatoes. not
red brick dust; beef soup from genuine
beef, terrapin from the real article, and
gard for the proper mixture and cook
ing of these soups are observed as in
any kitchen, private or public"

FARM AND GARDEN.
Seeding the Grass In Early spring.

Seeding the Grass I'm Early spring.
Some farmers sow their grass seed
on the snow. trusting TO the even dis
tribution thereof by the downward
tendency of water. and the use of the
farm roller for covering after the frost
has finished upheavng the soil. but it
is doubtful if the practice of sowing
clover and other grass seeds so early in
the season is the proper mode. AL
though such seeds do not easily loose
vitality. yet there is damage done by
the cold. and the hungry birds do not
miss the opportunity to take their
share, while the proper "catch" large
ly depends upon the condition of the
soil.
1t has been demonstrated that when
the harrow is used over the growing
wheat early in the spring the result is
/ bene fetal, and it is when the wheat is
! narrowed that the grass is to follw a
grain crop. 1t is important that the
seeds be covered. and if the field be
narrowed there will be less loss of seed,
and the greater chances for a good
stand. As an application of nitrate OF
soda on wheat in the spring pushes it
forward very rapidly it soon reaches
sufficient height 10 shield the young clo-
YER from the extreme heat of the sun.
while the clover will at the same time
make sufficient growth better TO endure
the warm weather. The harrow may
also be usefully employed to mix the
fertilizer with the soil ut the same
time
The ground upon which the seed is tc
be sown deserves more attention thar
the grain crop, the grass seed or the
mode of cultivation, for if the gras'
crop be intended rs permanent
pasturage it must not be overlooked
that weeds will spring mp to compete
with the grass, and for that reason the
ground must be very clean Ii is best
therefore, that the wheat to be grown
be on land that was previously in corn

the upper portion of the stomach.
Nothing could be seen, and it was en-

astonished. There was no tumor. but
there was wriggling mass of worms,
both large. and small. The operating
surgeon introduced his hand and re-
moved them as quickly as possible. and

worm of extraordinary size was found.
1t seemed TO be fast, and required
something of a pull to get it loose. 1t

the coil there was a large metal button.

was only n trilling hemorrhage and the

that bouyancy of mind that is distinct

claimed that he was onto the scheme but

wrath in aiming a shaft at our nose and
